instead it was places like ocean city, atlantic city. it was really one of the few spots that was spared by hurricane sandy. now earlier this morning i was up just about ten miles northwest of here in a place called louis beach. on the delaware side. that is the area one community we are very concerned about seeing a lot of flooding from the bay side. fortunately it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been. there was quite a bit of street flooding there and joining me now are two people from louis beach. you guys road out the storm last night. how was it? >> that we did. we road out the storm. we lost a lot of shingles off our roof. we are just along the canal in louis. and we are missing a screened in porch and some shingles but we consider ourselves pretty lucky. and we kept our electricity. the town of louis lost their electricity but we actually kept ours going. kudos to delaware electric coop. >> reporter: how long have you lived here? >> 22 years now. >> reporter: how would you stack up sandy to other hurricanes and nor'easters y
